Anyone have in recent issues with their mouse? Mine was working fine until the last Win 10 update and now it does nothing. I have changed nothing in CA or the Mouse settings. Just booted and started X9 and nothing. Thought I would check with you all before I reinstall the drivers. Thanks,

Michael,
My room SQ FT does not match the Living area label value. I verified the Living area included Matched Properties function to verify and all looks correct but the values. Any idea?

Unless Glenn already has a copy...hum! BTW, I've recently learned about resetting wall tops and bottoms and it sure does fix a lot of weird issues in 3D views

Gotcha, thanks

Me too. All of you Power Users are wonderful for giving back to the community. Yes, there are Fee Based support folks but often the most valuable solutions and help come from right here. Thanks for all you do Perry! You're a good a man!

Guys, I'm Experiencing a brain fade. My layout is good to go ARCH D but I want to print or PDF to 8.5 x 11 and print that PDF to 11 x 17 or ARCH D is desired. What are the setting when I go to print? I used to say FIT to Page but I have come to understand that means it is no longer scaled properly. What am I missing? Thanks

Just curious if anyone (Renerrabbit) any other program for rendering? An Architect, who uses SketchUp, shared an image he did in Render[in] that works inside of SketchUp, like when we take a Full Perspective camera to navigate around our model. You simply open the plugin and turn on the lights and adjust the intensity. You get instance views in realtime. It's amazing!!!!! if only Chief had such a feature?????

Perry, I found the issues. 1) have layout open while working on a plan does slow things down a bit but the real issue is...2) I have sheets in my layout that were some how still look for data that was no long directly linked to the plan file...even though I am using the SAM method when starting new plans. Dan at Chief Experts helped me clean house and fix the issue. thanks for your suggestions.

Joe, Thanks for the feedback. I've never tried to or knew you could add something like a rafter tail to a floor or ceiling beam... have you? I'll take a look and Post a reply when I start up again.

Warning DBX when attempting to create an opening for Stairs
mrscott replied to mrscott's topic in General Q & A
Guys, Sorry for the late response. Life happens while squeezing in CA on a Saturday. Issue solved. Thanks again, -
Hum! I'll take a look at that approach. If the image was not clear, These "Floor Beams" 4 - 2" x 12"s Double on each side (Stringers" as they are called along to the Coast) sit on notched Posts(aka Pilings). Perpendicular to the the Beams sit are your Floor Joist, 1-1/4" T&G sub floor (4 x 8 sheets) and then you start framing the first floor walls from there. Using the Floor Beams allows me to set the structure for level 0 so when I draw the floor beams manually across the Pilings there elevation is correct. So, I may be able to accomplish the same this with Trusses if I can make them solid. Thanks again,
-
Yes, I've modeled a complete Metal Builder superstructure using solids but all manually. I was hoping there was a way to do it with framing materials. Thanks for the reply, Happy 4th to you and your family!

Michael, Kind of off topic but is there a way to cut a 45 on the end of a FLOOR BEAM like is shown in the image below? I can do it Sketchup buthave not figured out how to do it in X9. Thanks,

I created a a stair case on floor 1 and selected Auto Stair Opening above. In doing so, I received the DBX below and no opening. I only see the stair railings. Help!

David and ChipSaw, You both hit on two points I had considered. 1) the CAD details are PDF's and I do have live views set but only on demand. It actually sped up after I saved and relinked the files.. a bit, but I will do away with the PDF files and stick to only CAD detail management. many thanks!

Scott, Perry, Alaskan Son, David, Chop, ET AL, Looking to understand why Chief is moving so slow. An suggestions on how or what to to tweak would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Dang Lew! I feel the same way about HP. I have rarely had consistent success with HP Wireless and Network printing. They also eat a lot of ink. Just connected my new Brother MFC-J6930DW and what a difference!!!! Faster printing than the HP and and way better quality. Even spits out the 11 x 17 in seconds. For the price (Amazon Prime) it was hard to beat so we'll see. This is a great thread and thank everyone who contributes feedback. Much appreciated,
-
How do you like the WF-7620? Ink price and print quality? Thanks
-
Perry ET AL, Thanks for the advise on printers. I just ordered the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWNQ8NG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and one set of extra XXL printer cartridges ( Color and Black). Will let you all know how it goes. Thanks again,
-
Lew, I, too, have the Printing clause in my contract but I would still like to have an "ALL IN ONE 13 x 19 Printer" in my Home Office. All brand and model recommendations appreciated. The New HP 7740 looks nice, until I read a review from a Revit user that could not get it to work without streaks. My wife would like it to support Mobil devise printing too. I know this is a pretty big wish list but my main concern is quality Color Printing with Chief Architect. Thanks,

THe SSA is a bargin in the grand scheme of the software. The best value of being a CA User is the great group of folks here on the Forum.
-
I concur whole heartedly! I only wish I had more time spend on the forum.
-
David, Since the point of this Thread is to learn how to maximize Chief's RT capabilities, please provide the setting used to produce these fine pictures. Your work is very nice and we all appreciate and respect your expertise. Thanks

Got it. Thank you Sir.
